Abstract
An air bag and steering lock device including a housing. The housing has a top half and a bottom half that allows the housing to be positioned around a column of a steering wheel for replacing the covering of the column. A J-bar member is provided. The J-bar has a back bar with a pair of lateral extents projecting in a forward direction. One of the lateral extents has an interior side with a plurality of catch slots adjacent an end. Lastly, a locking means is fixedly attached to the top surface of the top half of the housing. The locking means is capable of receiving the one lateral extent of the J-bar for locking the J-bar over the steering wheel to limit the steering wheel's movement and disassembly.
